"Ya think he could
find somethin' BETTER
to do, with his SWIMMING
SKILLS!"

[NOD.]
[FROWN.]
"Don't judge,
child."

"Aw! Come ON,
LORD!"
(Look up.)
(Drip some popsicle on
the chair.)
"If he's such a great
SWIMMER......
why doesn't he go over
to LOUSIANA,
and get into that horrible, mucky
WATER.. from the oil SPILL,
and help save some a'
those ANIMALS?
TWENTY MINUTES IN THAT
WATER, AND HE MIGHT
GET A LITTLE DIRTY,
HUH?"

[SIGH.]

"THAT'S what
a MENSCH*
would DO;
he wouldn't
need to PROVE
anything,
or want any
PUBLICITY!"

(Squint at the Orangette can.)
"'BOUT WHAT?
I already FORGOT,
what we were
talkin' ABOUT?"

[PATIENT WHISPER.]
"Oy vey."

(Laughing.)
"Hey, LORD?
'YA THINK
HE FROZE SOMETIHIN'
.....ELSE......?
WHEN HE GOT INTO THAT
WATER AT....
MOUNT EVEREST?"
(Laugh!)

[LONG PAUSE.]
[TURN TO THE
RIGHT SIDE OF
THE THRONE.]
"Do You think
she really knows
Who she is talking to?"

[GENTLE VOICE.]
"No,
Father."
[GENTLE CHUCKLE.]
[GENTLE SHAKE OF THE HEAD.]
"Not
at
all."
**************************
Then
I looked
on all
the works
that my hands
had done.....
And indeed
all was
vanity
and grasping
for
the wind.
[Ecclesiastes 2:11]
